BREAKING NEWS: Vazquez signs new Madrid deal

Lucas Vazquez has signed a new deal at Real Madrid until 2021, the European champions have confirmed.

The 25-year-old's initial deal was set to run until June 2020, but on Wednesday Madrid announced he had agreed terms on an extension.

"Real Madrid C. F. and Lucas Vazquez have agreed the extension of the player's contract, which sees him linked to the club until June 30, 2021," a brief statement read.

With starting spots in Madrid's attacking line-up hard to come by thanks to the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema, Vazquez has had to be content with mainly substitute appearances.

The Spain international, part of Vicente del Bosque's squad for Euro 2016, will be presented to the media on Thursday.
